Letters i o ; tie Editor Jan. 24, 1951 Mr. Roy Taylor Legislature of North ( arolina Raleigh, N. C. My dear Senator Taylor: The Asheville Citizen today prints a headline “Work on Col iseum May Have Gone Too Far to be Halted'” and in the article fol lowing discusses the project for an expenditure of SI,350,000.00 for an “ultra modern” stock judging coliseum at the State Fail Grounds. This announcemen* conies on the very heels of another head line of a few days ago that state funds for the food in all state mental hospitals (and possibly others) are to be cut—and this in spite of the rising cost of food and over the protests of those who seek to operate these institut ions. I do not have the details of either matter at my command. But it would take a terrific amount of facts or arguments or what have you to square the mat ter with decency or ethics or Christian “charity” that food for our mentally sick should be cur tailed because of the budget de mands, and a show-place for our animals be built instead. I cannot see any way to gloss over the in humanity and paganism of such a deal. 1 wish to enter my protest as a taxpayer, to say nothing of doing it as a citizen and a Christ ian! I most earnestly urge you to — MONUMENTS All Sizes and Designs $5 to 510.000 JOHN D. STRONG Asheville, N. C. — Rhone 5232 Hendersonville Road Nothing Better Than Good Food, Says Ohio Man If a man isn’t able to eat the foods he likes he’s in mighty sorry shape — imagine going through life without being able to enjoy a fine big platter of bacon and eggs. That is the way Joseph N. Da millot, 3414 E. 5th Street, Day ton, Ohio, used to be, but since he has been taking HADA COL, he says he feels just fine and is able to enjoy lots and lots of fine foods. Mr. Da millot found that taking HADACOL helped his system overcome a deficiency of Vitamins Bi, B,, Niacin and Iron. Here is Mr. Damillot’s state ment: “My first bottle of HAD ACOL convinced me that HAD ACOL was what I needed for the gas on my stomach at nights. I could not keep food on my stom ache, but after the first bottle I was going great. Now I eat bacon and eggs, and other foods that never would stay with me. I also can sleep well at nights. Thanks to HADACOL. I will never be without it, and can recommend it to all who suffer with the above ailments that l had. I know because I have suffered for quite some time." © 1950, Tht LaBlanc Corporation Y"OU Need One of These Reflecting NAME PLATES Yes, Two or Three—for Mail Box, Driveway, House Front, Lawn, Fence! as?1”-’*" isbwepkss Times.V'Ce ‘° Readers °f Thf Ash^“e Citizen and The Asheville -- EASY TO ORDER! ^'^•c?^ation Apartment <51 Citizen-Times Asheville, N.

On Thursday morning of this week a public hearing will be held on a measure to pay A-certificate teachers from $11400 to 5400. Ibis is considerably higher than eten the X. C. Education association has requested. The bill also pro vides that teachers cannot be dis missed without cause and gUes them the right for a public hear ing in the event of dismissal. It would also pay teachers on a 12-months basis instead of the present nine. Teachers would be glad to settle for $2200 (first year) to $1100 (maximum). The pressure is beginning. Getting The Money — As the legislature completes its first month—and what many say is one-third of its time in Raleigh— signs point to a re-examination of the $146,000,000 which taxes are expected to bring into the general fund next year. Times are better new than they were expected to be when the estimate was set last fall. The federal government plans to collect and spend more money than had been anticipated. .Janu ary, which ordinarily is one of out poorest business months, is stand ing up well in most sections of the state. The sale of liquor, always a good barometer, in North (aro lina’s ABC stores during December brought in nearly a half-million dollars more than in December of 1949. Soldiers and marines, with money to throw away on week ends, are flooding into North Car olina from throughout the land. So, in figuring where the state is going to get additional money to meet requests with merit, take another look at the $146,000,000. Don’t be surprised if, in view of the business trend, the estimate of income is pushed up to $150, 000,000 or better. This will not happen within the next week or two probably, but it’s coming. protest against such action and to see that nothing of such second ary or tertiary value be put in the state budget, if it means cutt ing down the funds or curtailing in any way funds for hospitals, and all institutions wherein the state of North Carolina has sick and unfortunate citizens, black or white, for whose care the state is responsible. The words of the Judgement scene so dramatically set forth in Matthew come to my mind: "1 was hungry—I was in prison—I was sick—and ye ministered unto me.” Will we , choose the lesser value of caring for our live stock above that of human beingsI ask you — and the rest of the legislature that. Very truly yours, Edwin Michael Hoffman Jan. 18, 1951 Town of Black Mountain, Black Mountain, N. C. Gentlemen: Please list my property on Laurel Circle for taxes, as specif ied in notice of this requirement in Black Mountain News. Very truly, Howard H. Brooker W. P. Beach, Fla. NEWS FROM BROAD RIVER CHURCH Communion service was ob served at Broad River church at 11:30 a. m. Sunday. It will be observed the first Sunday morning in each quarter hereafter. Several members took part. The pastor spoke from the subject, '‘The Fruit of The Spirit” from the Bible text Gal. 6. The Rev. Dotson repeats as he said in his message, that he believes that the greatest need in our churches today is full con secration and unity. So long as people cannot work together be cause they see differently on their doctrines and beliefs, uttU. be expected of them beca - the question is asked in A 3: 3, “Can two walk together ex cept they be agreed . He R e * that the people of Broad church are in harmony, and people have a mind to work. l.'< n though some families of that unn niunity have so far failed to ri spond'or offer any sign of inter est in their church and its activ ities, there is a group who is in terested and who, through all difficulties back of this have never proven unfaithful am. who now have begun to see the fruits of their labors. It is in such homes as these men and women repre sent that church leaders of to morrow are being reared and not in the homes that stay behind in God’s work. The Rev. Boston states that this reminds him of when God told Gideon to tane his chosen 300 out of the 32,000 to win the battle and he believes that we do have more than 1 per cent that will brave the battle and weather the storm as Gideon did not even have 1 per cent left af ter the test was made. Two new members were taken into the church in the afternoon service as candidates for baptism which will be in the spring. The singing was much better than usual with the help of some good Stone Mountain friends. The Sunday school attendance has been down due to the "flu epidemic in and around Black Mountain and Broad River sec tions. It is hoped that it will soon start building back. The Rev. and Mrs. Dotson wish to express their appreciation to Brother and Sister Luther Led better for the delicious lunch last Sunday, and to all the others who have prepared meals for them be ard, Mr-.
